SE Electronics 15mm Gold-Sputtered Diaphragm Small Microphone with Changeable Capsule (Matte Black)
The SE Electronics RN17 Small Diaphragm Microphone redefines
the capabilities of small-diaphragm condensers. The RN17 began with a
discussion between Rupert and Siwei Zou on the merits and problems of
small-diaphragm condensers.
The Small-Diaphragm
With a 15mm diaphragm (the world's smallest production gold-sputtered
diaphragm), the transient response of the RN17 is unparalleled. Such a small
capsule reacts extremely quickly and is therefore adept at picking up the most
delicate of high-frequency content.
Additional Capsules
The RN17 ships standard with a cardioid capsule, but an omnidirectional
capsule is also available for purchase separately.
Matte Black Finish
The matte black finish minimizes the level of visual attention drawn to the
microphone when used on stage or in the studio, allowing it to blend into the
background.
The Massive Transformer
Made obvious by the unusual chassis shape, the RN17's transformer is
substantially larger than the norm. This full-scale transformer was custom-designed
specifically for this microphone - and nobody has been designing audio
transformers longer (or better).
Balanced Clear Sound
With an audio transformer of this magnitude, the RN17 can put out
astonishing clarity across all frequencies - not just the highs. The midrange
is detailed and forward, the lows are full and accurate, and the whole
microphone has a balance and headroom never before achieved with a
small-capsule microphone.
Custom Shock Mount
Every RN17 includes a custom-designed, sturdy, protective, and easy-to-use
shock mount, which is essential to reducing the unwanted effects of vibration
or knocks to the supporting microphone stand.
Recommended Use
The SE Electronics RN17 Condenser is used with acoustic guitar, choir,
orchestral plus strings, piano, woodwinds, drums, percussion, and cymbals or
OH.
